Rapport: Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy

Description

A quieter Murderbot story — about the one thing it understands least: connection. Rapport: Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy is a brand-new short story in The Murderbot Diaries, and it puts the spotlight where fans always wanted it: on the bond between Murderbot and ART, the mighty research transport Perihelion with opinions as large as its engines.

When ART accepts a dangerous station contract, Murderbot is pulled into a mission where trust matters as much as firepower. Across just 32 pages, Martha Wells explores what “rapport” could possibly mean to a SecUnit that would rather watch its shows than talk about feelings — and finds the answer in sharp humor and quiet emotional beats between humans, constructs, and very large, very opinionated ships.

Short, warm, and sneakily profound, Rapport is essential for series devotees and a charming taster for the curious. It proves the Diaries’ greatest special effect was never the action — it was always the friendships.
